dENSITY


This was a question asked today: What happens when the density of a solid object is the same as the density of the liquid,will it float or will it sink ?

Example: the solid has a density of A g/cm3 and the density of the liquid is also A g/cm3.

The answer to whether it would float or sink is...
The solid should not be floating or sinking but instead suspended in the middle of the liquid.
